T3 ! Please help !
Hi,
I've bought a new T3 (TB0326) turbo - but its only oil cooled, and some pepople says that's no good for Honda's engines. Is it true that water is so important in cooling turbos ? What do you think, should I buy a new one with oil and water, or should I keep going with this ... ?
My engine is D16Z6.
Regards
lucas

I'm using a T3 and its only oil cooled and my engine says Honda on it! 
Having a turbo water cooled is only going prolong the life of the turbo just because it would be cool it down faster than if it didnt have the watercool, but it its not necessary. Many of the guys are running the DSM turbos which are water and oil cooled and are not even using the water cooling.
Its not a necessity. You'll be fine using that turbo if it fits your application. What are the C/R on that turbo?
